IS300 vs C320

no big story here a friend of mine has a 2001 lexus is300 auto... last nite i was coming back from my girlfriends house and i saw him at a light i pulled up next to him and were talking about some things cause we havent seen eachother in a while.. joking around i was like i live my life a 1/4 mile at a time for those 15 seconds or less im free ( we know its 10 seconds but our cars are not that fast lol ) anyway we decided to go on green.. i always looked at the IS300 as a decently quick car so i figured it be an ok race.. on green he got the jump but it didnt matter by 60 he was behind more than a car legnth inbetween us behind and as the speeds increased to 75 it was even worse the 320 just kept pulling away from it at 80 i decided to give it a rest because he is after all a friend and theres no need to abuse the car when your already winning nor put anyone else in danger... the next light he was like wow i never new that car was fast like that...
not a very impressive win the is300 does 7.4 0-60 1/4 15.5 but its another one for the C klass

I think the IS300 is more like 0-60 7.1sec with manual.
